apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Something is wrong with your voting :( but I'll wait.

I really, really like the eating area. I'm also curious to ask where you get your art?

I'm proud that there have been some entries from Canada!!

OMG Calgary!! That's where I live! What area of the city is this in?? Plus - where'd you get the orange lamp?!

Gorgeous kitchen table. I just bought one off eBay which is from the 1950's and exactly that color. I was thinking of settling for white chairs. You're making me think that I could branch out a bit more!

Love your use of color. Beautiful.

kitchen floral art - where on earth did you find such beauty?

Your place is sooo cute!! I am one that loves color and retro floral prints and retro patterns, so your place really caught my attention. I love the layout of your place and I love your wall prints - did you make them?

As a frequenter of this lovely abode i agree with all the comments! It's FABULOUS!!!!!!

Awesome apartment!!! Your place rocks the casbah!!!

Its breathtaking.

What did you use to line the panels in the cab doors by the bed, and where can I get it?

Unique, creative, and beautiful. You have a talent.

We LOVE your place! you are an amazing artist!

Very unique. Not my style, but it definitely has personality. Much better than those hotel/show room looking homes that have been featured on here.

Great space and taste.

Retro is really in.

Hope you win.

Love your artwork!!!

This is so well put together, harmonious, personal, I really, really like your place!

That is just the cutest apt ever! You really know how to make those colors work ;)

Thank you everyone for your kind comments. To answer some questions. The lamp is made from a Can. Tire vase with a VV shade. Most of the art I did myself, the rose is a design I took from a pillow, traced it on canvas and filled in with paint. The panels on the armoire are old wallpaper found in my parents woodshed, sorry don't have any left, it was kinda stinky, check ebay. I plan to do the rose pic in blues and I'll be at the Millarville market July18, Aug 1, 22 if you live in the area. On etsy I'm canuck2299, and I will update those items soon.

Wow way too much color for a small space...pick three colors and not make your house look like a little girl's dollhouse.

I love it! Very fun, love the art. And not too much color.

Actually, little girls' dollhouses tend to have two colors--pink and purple. This is a great entry imho--the colors all -work-, no matter how many there are, and it looks like a real home.

How can I look at this lovely space and not be in a happy mood! Great work Stephanie!

I love colour but this is all over the place with so many clashing colours and no real small space solutions.

Seraph - maybe you need to see some of the ones they make today. Last one I bought for a niece was lots of colors.

ohhh, I miss your place, Stephanie. It just goes to show that color is our friend. Though your place always stands out as unique. BTW, to those who think too much color, this place does not slap you in the face, it does flow beautifully from one room to the next and always makes you feel very comfortable and refreshed.

Love all the colors! I think the most exciting small space solution is the metal mesh on the door sof the black bookcase by the TV - it really calms down what can be a messy jumble, but still lets you see what you've got, and have the sense of openness. Nice!

the art above your bed looks super cool :)

i love the art above your bed! i also love your bold use of color....i'm also love color and using it in weird ways.... who cares if some dont like it? its your style...its your home, so make it something you can really love to live in. I give you props! hope you win!

ballsy mix of colors and patterns... fun

The Battle of Alberta is over in this contest, and Calgary totally wins. I love your space and all the colour is fabulous. Props from Edmonton! Good Luck!

Thanks for all the comments and support. I guess if I enter Fall Colors I'll call it Mark and Stephanies Modern Day Dollhouse ;)
